KNOW YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Emotional Support Animal letter comes with benefits like in-cabin flights and living with your pet in no-pet policy residential areas.

The Fair Housing Amendments Act

This law allows you to have your ESA at your residence and requires the landlord to make appropriate accommodations in the policies to make place for the ESA. Though these changes do take place most of the time, but there are also some cases where these provisions may not be done. These include:

The landlord has the right to refuse if the building is lesser than four units and the landlord is also residing in the building.

If the property does not involve a real estate broker and it is included under single family housing.

FHA doesn’t include public places like restaurants, cafes, and hotels and they may refuse to allow your emotional support animal though they may allow service animals according to the American Disability Act.

The FHA restricts the landlords from doing the following:

They cannot request you for your detailed medical records or ask about your medical condition.

They cannot ask about your ESA’s training or its performance in certain tasks like service animals.

They cannot demand for any fees or deposit regarding your ESA’s accommodation.

They cannot refuse your admission on the accounts that their insurance doesn’t cover a breed or animal weight.

The Air Carriers Access Act (ACAA)

Under this, people suffering from mental health condition are allowed to board a flight with their pets i.e their pet flies with the owner in-cabin. An ESA can either sit near to the feet or on your lap while travelling on a flight. If you are planning to take your ESA on the flight, you have to let your airline service provider know about it in advance so that he makes the required accommodations for your ESA.

Under the act:

Your ESAs are allowed to fly in-cabin either on the lap or near your feet in the flight.

You have to pay no additional pet fees while travelling with your ESA on the flight.

You just have to make sure that your ESA remains calm on the flight and is comfortable around other humans. He need not to be trained but has to be cordial.

Also, there are some rules and regulations that have been enacted to support the ACAA. They are:

A carrier cannot refuse one’s transportation on the grounds of one suffering from a mental condition.

There is no limit to the number of ESA owners but it is on the airline staff to check how many ESAs they can accommodate on the flight.

You have to make sure that ESAs shouldn’t interfere with the flight crew. Disturbances like chewing, growling, or barking is not allowed in the flight.

You have to make sure that your ESA acts in accordance with the behavioral requirements that will allow you to enjoy the perks of the ESA letter.
